All,
I have a CSS that is consistently reporting high cpu utilization.
Name Slot Sub 5Sec 1Min 5Min
--------------------------------------------
CSS5-SCM-2GE F0 1 1 96% 65% 66%
It appears that the below process is to blame:
NAME ENTRY TID PRI total % (ticks) delta % (ticks)
-------- -------- ----- --- --------------- ---------------
tFlowMgrPktR 8ba01df0 50 82% ( 657) 86% ( 261)
Below is some info on the Keepalive configuration:
Maximum Configured Remaining Permitted
Class A: 2048 39 2009 1869
ICMP: 2048 0 2048 1869
TCP: 2048 39 2009 1869
SSL: 2048 0 2048 1869
HTTP: 2048 0 2048 1869
Class B: 512 140 372 372
FTP: 256 0 256 256
HTTP: 256 139 117 117
Script: 256 1 255 255
Use Output: (16) ( 0) (16) (16)
System(A+B): 2048 179 1869 1869
Can anyone provide any next steps?
Thanks in advance.

Kev-
Get a TAC case opened for this. tFlowMgrPktR is the process that handles receiving packets. If it is high, either your packets/second, new sessions/second, or unknown/malicious packets are arriving to the CSS.

Chris,
Thanks for the reply. I did just that. But in the meantime, I took a trace the traffic and noticed some serious traffic, that did not require load balancing. I had the application developer move that process to an app server and the CPU cleared up, instantly. The image below shows the interface usage:
